Teal and Purple Smokey Eyes Tutorial & FOTD

Couple a days back I received a request from a reader(Jacinta) to do a look using shades of teal, green and purples for her brother's engagement and this is what I came up with :) Personally I am very happy on how it turned out and I hope Jacinta likes it as well. Below is the request I received from her.

"hey dear,i have been reading ur blog for quite sometime,and i loved it,u have really easy way to understand the step by step makeup,could u do a makeup tutorial for me for my brothers engagement,i am wearing a patiala suit, which has gold,purple and parrot green.is that okey for you?"

Lets start with the step by step tutorial, I have mainly used my 88 matte color eyeshadow palette and for the teal shade mixed Inglot 413 and Inglot 418 together since I did not have the exact teal color. I have circled the shades used from both the palettes.

Step1:- As always prime your eyes with concealer or primer, I am using MAC Paint Pot in Soft Ochre

Step2:- Apply a bright magenta shade in the crease and outer corners

Step3:- Blend this shade well using a MAC217 or Sigma E25 or any other blending brush you have

Step4:- Add a bright matte purple in the inner and outer corners as shown below

Step5:- Blend blend and blend, all the time making sure not to go beyond the crease

Step6:- Now add a dark purple shade only in the outer corner in the crease, this will define the crease further and give that smokey effect

Step7:- Again blend the shades well and this is how it should look like

Step8:- Apply your favorite teal/green shade in the middle of the eyelids, I have used Inglot 413 + Inglot 418 here to get the desired color.

Step9:- Blend the corners of the middle shade with the purple using a light hand

Step10:- To bring some warmth back to the look, apply a light warm/orange brown shade above the crease and blend it well with the crease shades.

Step11:- Apply a pale shimmery gold shade as a browbone highlight and fill in the eyebrows

Step12:- Tightline your eyes and line your waterline with your favorite kohl, I have used Lakme Eyeconic Pencil here, also apply the purple eyeshadow on the lower lashline which we used in the inner and outer corners and blend it out with the magenta eyeshadow we first applied in the crease.

Step13:- Finally apply a thin liner on your upper lash line and loads of your favorite mascara and we are done. Apply a soft golden eyeshadow in the teat duct area to open up the eyes further.

For face I have used Covergirl Stay Fabulous 3-in-1 foundation in the shade 857 Golden Tan, bronzed and contoured the cheeks using ELF Bronze and highlight palette, Blush is Lakme Absolute Blush in "Day Blushes" and on lips I have Colorbar Pink Toffee liquid lipstick
